Gift from a friend:

Hi blog friends,
 
Last week I stopped by my friend Lecia's
She's been busy working two jobs, so
 I thought a little surprise would be nice.
Only thing is, she surprised me as well!
Lecia gave me one of her handmade Santa's.
 
He is perfectly prim!
I absolutely love him!
Thank you Lecia, not only for blessing me with your creations,
but being a wonderful friend.
 
Many of you who follow my blog also follow Lecia's.
And you may know by reading her last blog post
that her brother passed away this past Saturday unexpectedly.
Lecia has dealt with a lot on her plate this past year
 and is one of the strongest people I know. 
Please pray for Lecia and her family in this time of sorrow.
 
Prayers and strength to you my friend~
Jean

Christmas time is here.......

All the laughter and cheer.......
Can you tell I've been listening to
Charlie Brown's Christmas.
I'm no singer by any means
 and half the time I don't even know the words. LOL.
 Not sure if that the correct verse, but any who....
 
Just stopped in to give a sneak peak
at some Valentines
I've been working on.
 
Meet Edith~ is she not a hoot!
the pattern is by Chestnut Junction.
I so enjoy making dolls
of all types.
 
Now this is Emma with her tattered heart.
She is of my own design.
Sorry, my pics stink!
 
And this is my Angel of Love doll.
Also of my own design.
 
I've been thinking about starting a pattern company,
selling patterns of my own designs.
 
For some reason all these designs and ideas
 keep running through my head and yes,
I put them on paper,
 but usually I stick them away and just forget about them.
I feel like God is sending me in a new direction
and I want to trust in him,
but I am curious......
Etsy now has instant downloads for patterns,
So what do you think?
 
Thank you for stopping by!
Enjoy the week~ Christmas time is here......
 
Blessings,
         Jean

Sharing and a Thank You to Sara:

Hi Blog Friends!
 
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. 
We were able to travel to PA and spend time with my little brother Tom and sil Amy.
My brother is a wonderful cook and prepared a delicious dinner for us.
I ate way to much, but couldn't help myself.
Things always taste better when someone else cooks.
It was a relaxing and enjoyable day.
 
Can you believe it's
Only 23 days til Christmas!
 
I'm finishing up some Santa's and Christmas items this week,
then moving on to Easter.
Yep, you read right!
Easter is early again this year!
I'll do some Valentine,
but usually it's not a big selling holiday for me.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I received a big package in the mail last week
from a dear blog friend Sara~ of Salmon Falls Prims
We did a private swap and OH BOY did she spoil me!
 
 
 
I love them Sara!
Thank you so much for doing this swap with me.
 
Sara makes beautiful prim wood items to decorate your home
and has an Etsy shop.
 
Stop over to her blog or Etsy shop and see what she has to offer.
You may just find something you can't live without!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Before I end this post
I want to wish
my "little brother"~ Tom
A very Happy Birthday today!
And many more to come!
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Have a great week,
and
many Blessings to you.
